Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I suppose there is no reason to not say that this was a Ramada - not a cheap one either. I told the front desk and have written to Ramada twice with no reply.
Yes, there was a 4x4 box in the wall (you can see one screw hole in the top right) but the left side is plastered over and the bottom two are covered by the headboard cleat.
Needless to say, I made sure the smoke alarm worked and slept that night with the headboard off the wall & the bed moved away from the wall.
The wires running over the cleat were bad enough, but the ones pinched between the wall and the cleat (also had a nail right in line with them) worried me more.
Be safe y'all , and thanks again.
Paul
